Local Licensing Authority Minutes January 26, 2015 Page5of6 B. Incident Report — Henry's — 12/13/14 Police responded to a report of a theft at the establishment. Tennessen noted he was concerned since there had been a report about this establishment at the last meeting. Machado said there had not been a show cause hearing for this establishment for some time although there had been some incident reports reviewed by the Authority. Hughes questioned if the report noted any alcohol service to the person accused of the attempted theft. Authority members agreed there was no indication of service. Authority Attorney Culley reminded the Authority of the duty of establishments to report and noted there may not be enough information to indicate the establishment was even aware of the incident. The patron reported the theft to the police. Machado expressed concern over the number of reports involving Henry's but did not feel this one indicated an order of show cause hearing. He asked about the procedure for ordering a show cause hearing in general and asked about the Authority's right to ask for intermediate fact finding. Tennessen noted it did not hurt to send letters to let establishments know the Authority is paying attention. Machado noted the Rules of Procedure ask for a letter to be sent to an establishment if an order to show cause vote is taken, but not passed. Authority Attorney Gulley reviewed the Rules of Procedure in ordering a show cause. After reviewing a police report, the Authority determines if the information received and if substantiated could be grounds for suspension or revocation of a liquor license. The Authority can ask the Police Department to do further investigation. She noted if a show cause vote is not passed, a letter is an option. Authority members discussed whether a letter should be sent concerning this incident. They decided against a letter and not to take any further action. They will be considering a report from this establishment at the next meeting. It was tabled at the December meeting for further review in February. C. Incident Report — La Revolucion — 12/20/14 This incident involved a report of loud music from this establishment. Authority members noted there was no liquor violation although there was a disturbance due to the loud music. Authority members concurred no further action needed to be taken. Secretary's Report
